Child Safety Seat and Restraint Failures

Literature and studies from around the world prove that, when children are properly restrained in well designed child safety seats or child restraint devices, they can literally walk away from the most violent of wrecks without suffering any serious injuries. Unfortunately, the reality here in the United States is that car wrecks are the leading cause of serious injury or death for children. Our firm's experience handling defective car and automobile component cases has led us to conclude that one of the primary reasons why our children are at risk in car wrecks is because some . . . but certainly not all . . . of the child safety seats sold in the United States are defective and unreasonably dangerous.

If your child has been injured by a child safety seat and/or by a problem with your vehicle's restraint system, depend on the extensive experience we have with child safety seat and restraint failures.
